Could LEOPOLDSTADT Make Tony Awards History This Year?
2023 could be the fifth consecutive year with Best Play going to a British import.
As the 76th Annual Tony Awards inch closer, a history-making milestone could also be on the horizon. Look for an import from Great Britain to possibly make history this year if Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt wins the Tony Award for Best Play. If it does, the victory would make 2023 the fifth year in a row that an overseas production has won the highest award- a streak that has never happened before.
British imports have won Best Play for three consecutive years three times in Tony Awards history:
1966 - Marat/Sade
1967 - The Homecoming
1968 - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
2009 - God of Carnage
2010 - Red
2011 - War Horse
2018 - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
2019 - The Ferryman
2020 - The Inheritance
2021 - N/A
2022 - The Lehman Trilogy
2023- ?
